Mike Hodges (born 29 July 1932, Bristol, England) is an English screenwriter and film director.
[edit] Life and work
Hodges began his career as a current affairs producer for Granada Television's World in Action series before moving into feature films.
Hodges often works within easily identifiable genres (crime thrillers, science fiction), but has enjoyed a varied career. His work has latterly undergone critical re-examination, partly due to good reviews and box-office performance of Croupier, and to the ongoing cult and critical success of his 1971 film Get Carter.
